Core sleep

Last night I gave up. After my midnight nap I found myself struggling again, I was very, very tired and I didn't even had energy to do some physical activities like pottering around the house. I tried to have something to eat to get that sleep away but I was falling asleep eating! This was too much and eventually I gave up at around 2am and went for a core sleep. I put my alarm for 4.30am and I did wake up at that time but decided to carry on and eventually woke up naturally at 6.35. I had 4,5 hours core sleep. I went to work and missed the 8am nap but from 12.00 I started again and functioned very well. My naps were still very good and full of dreams. It is 1.30am now and I'm functioning really well. I'm fully awake and energised.
Yesterday I went to London with my friend and had a colonic irrigation in the morning followed by some shopping and late lunch. My 4pm nap didn't happened till 5.30pm in the car on the way back home.
This was my first week of work and together with the trip to London it definitely put a lot of strain on my body. The core sleep restored me and brought me my strength and clarity back.
I did a full ashtanga yoga session tonight.
I have a weekend in front of me and I will rest so I can have maximum energy for the up coming week. I hope it will be easier on me.
I'm learning so much about my body and I really need to put more attention and more care to it. I understand now that we do take our bodies for granted and we exploit it as much as we can. The whole Uberman schedule makes so much sense. Our body needs a rest every 4h. We can't maintain operating on full charge for 12h per day on the monophasic sleep. Our working hours are too long. We do not rest sufficiently, do not exercise regularly or take enough fresh air into our lungs.
The Ubreman schedule gives me the opportunity to take care of my body with more consideration and telling me that I should slow down. I did gain so many hours but I must make sure I use them wisely otherwise those hours will become empty, a low energy, sleepy wasted time. If I want to live by the Uberman schedule I must be very disciplined and aware of everything around me. I need to revise my time between the naps and change my way of being
even more.
One block should contain the following:
- on awaking go outside and do some conscious breathing
-have something to eat, small and raw
-dedicate only 2h to mental activity to get the maximum results
- do some light tasks
- do some more breathing
- time for the next nap.
This is the rough outline of each section of the day/night. Of course they will vary. The most important thing is to realise that there is only 2 hours for a solid work, be it mental or physical in one block.
I shall try to implement these changes immediately.
